Looking for advice for tabbed content in CPT

Hey there!

I wanted to ask for a little bit of advice because I have the following issue:

I want to create a tabbed content element in my sidebar of my CPT template which would consist of 3 tabs (A, B, C). I read the documentation and found that I have to create separate pages for these tabs. Everything works as expected but there is one little problem for me – I have 20 separate categories in my CPT and I have to create different tabs for each of them.

The idea of the tabbed content is simple – my CPT is used for episodes for my TV shows where each category represents a different TV show that we have and in the tabbed content I want to show our separate youtube and facebook channels (first tab), a biography for our TV hosts (second tab) and contact information for each TV show (third tab).

Is there a way to avoid the creation of 20×3=60 pages because it would be really annoying?

Also one suggestion – I think it would be a great idea to be able to style the tabs in the same way as the titles in the theme (I created my own css which does that but I think it would be good to have this as an option out of the box).

Best regards!

Thanks, do you have any plugins in mind that could be used?

Just reposting this, because you didn’t say anything about it

I am talking about something different, is there a place where we can post ideas for future implementation?
